Your mission tonight, should you decide to accept it, is to:
1) List your 16 great-great-grandparents with their birth, death and marriage data (dates and places).
2) Determine the countries (or states) that these ancestors lived in at their birth and at their death.
3) For extra credit, go make a “Heritage Pie” chart for the country of origin (birth place) for these 16 ancestors. [Hint: you could use the chart generator from Kid Zone for this.] [Note: Thank you to Sheri Fenley for the "Heritage Pie" chart idea.]
4) Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a post on Facebook or google+.

I participated in this challnge, too. Great fun. I had no idea you had so much Polish ancestry!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! I'm mostly Polish.. but you wouldn't suspect it with all my Hungarian research! The parents of numbers 5 & 6 on this list were also born in Poland. Unfortunately, there are no records available on microfilm for Barycz and Osobnica.. and the priests for the churches are not very nice and forthcoming with information. It's practically impossible to do any research on those lines. Only just a few days ago, I found the actual birth date for #4 Amelia Stec. It was on her second husband's naturalization papers.. never would've thought to try that, but I'm happy I got it. Now, I just don't know which year is correct. :-p
